The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 12, 2015 and October 1, 2015. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-2433h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2015-2433h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 177–131. It crossed to the Senate on February 18, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 1, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 10, 2016 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
